Głowa państwa polskiego w latach 1918–1997 Recenzja publikacji: Jacek M. Majchrowskii, Historia ustroju Polski 1918–1997. Głowa państwa

The reviewed scientific monograph is the first book devoted entirely to a very important issue: the evolution of the institution of the head of state in Poland from 1918 to 1997. The head of state in this period functioned in various constitutional-legal forms, both individual (Chief of State, President of the Republic of Poland, Chairman of the State National Council) and collegial (Presidium of the State National Council, State Council). These different legal regulations undoubtedly influenced the current construction of the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997 pertaining to the President of the Republic of Poland. The main advantage of the monograph, besides the insightful legal analyses, is the presentation of the constitutional practice and the historical background concerning the functioning of the head of state in the analysed period.
